MR. SULLIVAN'S SHIRT STUD. How Came Locomotive No. 70 by it He'd Like to Know—Languishes in jail. FREEHOLD, N. J., November. 26.—It has long been the boast of Mr. John Sullivan of Bradvelt that he owned the largest shirt stud of the sparkling variety to be found in this part of New Jersey. As to the material of which the stud was made opinions differ. Mr. Sullivan himself maintained with unswerving positiveness that it was a diamond. In view of the fact that it was considerably larger than the Kohinoor, the general impression prevailed among the owner's friends that he was laboring under a delusion, and that the sparkler was in reality either of quartz or of the more humble material which forms the staple commodity in windows. On Thanksgiving Day Mr. Sullivan lost his sparkler, acquiring as an offset a jag which was considerable of a sparkler itself. This jag Mr. Sullivan collected in Wickatunk, a town famed for its applejack. Common rumor has it that whoever drinks three glasses of Wickatunk applejack, straightaway becomes possessor of the earth and the fallness thereof. Mr. Sullivan had several glasses and departed from Wickatunk, vaunting himself as a lord of creation, with an appetite for trouble. A friend bound for Freehold in a wagon assured him that there was trouble to burn in that town, and, accepting the offer of a lift, he slept all the way over, waking up with a feeling of general benevolence instead of the hankering for conflict with which he had started out. In Freehold he had several more drinks, which so affected his sense of proportion that he fled in terror from a stationary push cart, under the impression that it was an express train in pursuit of himself, and was subsequently discovered painfully tolling up the steps of the railway station, stopping at every step to inform the bald eagles which were fighting for bread crumbs on the ground below that all he had read of the difficulties of the Chilkoot Pass was as nothing compared with this, the reality. A good Samaritan brought him back from Alaska to a drugstore, where a draught, alleged to have sobering properties, was administered. Fortified with this, Mr. Sullivan went forth, and after dodging a grove of preternaturally agile trees, found himself upon TATTOOING. Criminals, Surprising to Relate. Seem to Have a Weakness For It. "It is a curious act, to which criminologists have not paid much attention," that a large proportion of instinctive criminals have tattoo marks put upon their persons," said Dr. George S. Williams, physician of the Missouri penitentiary. "It is a paradox that this fancy should do a part of the criminal mind, for a tattoo marks the subject for life. It would seem more natural for the criminal to avoid all such marks in order to the better conceal his identity from the sluths of the law. The operation of tattooing is quite painful, but even this is not a deterrent. Criminals, by the way, seem able to stand more pain than persons of honest instincts and habits." The desire to be tattooed, however, is the strongest and most incompressible force of the criminal intellect. It cannot be accounted for on any other hypothesis than that there is an unyielding and invariable compensating law of nature which operates in the interest of orderly conduct and behavior. But for the tattoo marks with which many hardened and incorrigible writches decorate their skin many a criminal who is now confined behind strong prison walls where he can do the world the least amount of harm would be at liberty today, preying on society. "The custom of tattooing is as popular among the female criminals as among the males, though women rarely have the mark put in as conspicuous places as the men. There is an interesting field of study here for the student of criminology. Lombroso has merely called attention to the fact of which I speak without attempting to explain the causes that lead to it, but he is the only specialist of note that seems to have given the matter any notice. It more frequently happens than otherwise that criminals who submit to the tattooing operation choose a design suggestive of the lewd and libidinous, and in this is contained the positive hint of a diseased condition of mind which probably explains the real cause of the foolish and unbusinesslike custom. The habit seems to be so universal among instinctive criminals that I am inclined to believe there must be some one or more institutions in the country where they get the work done. Few of them here will give the slightest hint of when or where they had the work done, which..." A good Samaritan brought him back from Alaska to a drugstore, where a draught, alleged to have sobering properties, was administered. Fortified with this, Mr. Sullivan went forth, and after dodging a grove of preternaturally agile trees, found himself upon the Jersey Central railroad track facing engine No. 70, which had been left to the care of itself for a few minutes while the engineer and fireman dissipated on mince pie in a neighboring lunch room. Two small boys who were playing beside the track noted Mr. Sullivan's condition and suggested that he get off the track, as the locomotive might start at any moment. But Mr. Sullivan had other views. He had noticed in the forefront of the engine a great, brilliant, sparkling adornment which he immediately recognized and with great joyousness. "D you see that?" he inquired of the boys, pointing at it. "That's mine." "Gee!" said the bigger of the boys to the smaller. "He says he owns the engine. Say, what d'vee think o' that!" "What's your name?" asked Mr. Sullivan, pointing a somewhat uncertain finger at the boys. "Jimmy Yates, if yer pointin' that at me," replied the larger boy. "And yours, my son?" indicating the other urchin. "Johnny Semple." "Now, Jimmy and Johnny, if you'll climb up there and get me my diamond stud, which I observe shining there, I'll give you a dollar each." The boys stared at Mr. Sullivan and then at each other. The engine snorted gently. "I'd do it myself," continued Mr. Sullivan, but I've already climbed several mountains this morning and I'm tired." "Say," said Johnny Semple in awed tones, "Does he want us to snake the headlight out of a engine?" Mr. Sullivan wiped away several tears. "To think," he mourned, "that I should live to find my diamond stud in the bosom of a lomoco-mocolo-moloco—." "Ingine," suggested Jimmy. "If yer goin' to take it at all ye'll have to take the hull thing." "Thank you, my son," responded Mr. Sullivan. "I will." Without further ado he walked down the track and achieved the difficult ascent into the cab with surprising activity under the circumstances. Terrified at seeing their advice thus taken, the two boys rushed down to the station, a few rods away, and burst in, shouting breathlessly: "Look-a-here! The ingine! He's got it—a drunken feller. He says it's a di'mond, an he's runin' away with it. Wanted to give us a dollar to get it for him. Hurry up, or he'll run away with it." There was little need of this admonition. Before the boys had finished a disordered company of train hands, baggagemen, and station employees were streaming up the track after engine No. 70, which was moving with rapidly accelerated speed up the track and puffing nervously. "Come back!" "Stop her!" "Turn off the steam!" "Shut her off!" yelled the pursuers. Out from the cab looked Mr. Sullivan and waved a graceful hand in benign tion that he fleed in terror from a stationary push cart, under the impression that it was an express train in pursuit of himself, and was subsequently discovered painfully tolling up the steps to inform the bald eagles which were fighting for bread crumbs on the ground below that all he had read of the difficulties of the Chilkoot Pass was as nothing compared with this, the reality.

He was enjoying his ride, and the possibility of consequences troubled his serene mind not the least bit in the world. Now there are two things that might have happened; one, the thing that didn't happen, and the other the thing that did. Had the switch been turned a certain way the big locomotive would have shot out upon the main track and collided with the passenger train, due here at 3 o'clock. But it was turned the other way, and the disaster that ensued involved only Engine 70 and its inexperienced master, for it ran on the open switch, gently left the track, slid over the low embankment, and came to a standstill, pouting and snorting, deep in the mud of a ditch. Mr. Sullivan rolled out some way or another and lay quiet, with his eyes closed to the troubles of this adventurous world. The railroad employees, running up, expressed a general and plious hope that he was dead and—worse. But he wasn't. Opening his eyes, he looked into the faces bending over him. "I always said it was a diamond," he sailed; "and now its gone and exploded!" and after a few sobs he slumbered. They took him away and turned him over to the tender mercies of the jailer. In the Freehold jail this evening Mr. Sullivan sits and explains to a world from which he is shut off that he is the misunderstood victim of a combined diamond robbery and explosion, having been arrested because his shirt stud ran off the track and deposited him in the hands of a gang of freebooters, who have incarcerated him in a dungeon and who are holding him for a ransom. The raison will probably be about $10. Meantime the railroad company is digging engine 70 out of the mud.[N. Y. Sun] E. W. McCollum has a full line of '97 Bicycles and Bicycle Supplies.

Peckham has recently been much annoyed by the persistency with which one of her scholars plays truant. She was on the point of reporting his case, when she spoke to one of the lady supervisors. This lady believes in kindness rather than harsh measures and told the teacher to send the offender to her house the next time he was troublesome. So one afternoon there appeared at the lady's house a boy. The supervisor was all smiles and attention, and she treated him to a "spread" the like of which he probably had never enjoyed before. He was soon made to feel perfectly at home. "Now," thought the benefactress, "is the time to preach my little 'ermon.'" So she put before him the evils of playing truant and besought him to be a model boy in the future. Imagine her surprise when he said to her: "I ain't the boy that runs away, ma'am. He gave me a penny to come here in his place."—Scottish Leader. Dumas. Alexandre Dumas, or Dumas pere, lived from 1803 to 1870.

BLACK'S CHURCH. Her Coachman Thought It Too Humble For a Cabinet Lady. During Mrs. Jeremiah Black's life in Washington, when her distinguished husband was in the cabinet, she was one of the most efficient helpers in the early struggles of the Vermont Avenue Christian church. With the little hand-out of that faith who "broke head" in some private house or obscure hall, she went regularly. A well remembered anecdote of that time illustrates her fidelity and at the same time her gentle, kindly nature. The church was meeting in Temperance hall. Judge Black's driver, Peter, sensitive for the honor of the family, or more so for his carriage, felt it to be something of a disgrue to stand before such a building on Sunday. One day he touched up on the subject as gently as he could by saying: "Mrs. Black, that ain't a very fine church you and the judge go to." "No, Peter," said the lady, "it is not a very grand one." "Mrs. Black, do you 'spec' to 'tend that church every Sunday?'" "Yes, Peter, until they get a better one." Over Studied. A YOUNG LADY'S HEALTH RUINED PREPARING FOR GRADUATION. Was Over-ambitious and Went Beyond Her Strength. Constant Pain and Misery—Her Critical Condition. From the Democrat, Shelbyville, Ind. In one of the main streets of Shelbyville, Indiana, resides Mrs. Emily Edwards and her seventeen year old daughter, Cora. The young lady is one of the charming misses of the city, she being known for her beauty, and perfect health. "Although enjoying good health now," said her mother to a reporter recently, "she has not always been so fortunate. I suppose Cora, until two years ago last March, was as healthy and strong as any girl of her age. She was attending school and was studying hard. Perhaps she was too studious, for we noticed that the healthy color in her cheek was rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles began to appear under her eyes, and she rapidly became worse. We were living in Franklin, Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have graduated at Spring. She stopped attending school and endeavored to get a rest, but her health kept failing. Her blood was colorless and impure. She would also have sick headache, could scarcely eat or sleep, and was almost continually in pain. Nothing which we did for her seemed to do any good." "Different physicians treated and prescribed for her, but she kept getting worse. She had formerly weighed 109 pounds, but during her illness her weight had dwindled down to 79 pounds. We began to think there was nothing we could do for her benefit when I happened to notice an article in a paper regarding the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought that if there was ever a pale person it was certainly Cora, so I decided to buy a box of the pills and let her try them. It was the first of last May when she began, and near the middle of June when she stopped using the pills. SHELBYVILLE, IND., May 13, 1897.

WOMEN AND JEWELS. The Combination Is as Old as Time and Not a New Fad. The critic who finds much to blame in modern women in the number of jewels they wear on both this and the other side of the Atlantic will find that history had set the fashion long before the fair creatures of today had opened their lovely eyes. According to Pliny, Lollia Panlina, the wife of Caliguria, wore on her hands, arms, neck, head and waist pearls and diamonds to the value of $1,680,000. Faustina had a ring worth $200,000, Domitia possessed one worth $300,000, and Caesonia had a bracelet worth $400,000. Seneca cried out that one pearl would no longer do for a lady, but she must insist on at least three for each shell-like ear. The weight of these, it is hard to believe, could ever be endured by even the vainest of fair maids and matrons. There were women in ancient Rome whose sole occupation was healing the torn ears of ladies whose ornaments had proved too heavy for the pretty lobes. Poppea's earrings were worth $750,000, and Calpurnia, the wife of the mighty Julius Caesar, had a pair valued at twice that sum. Later on the extravagance had not seemed to have died out. Marie de' Medici had a dress prepared for the baptism of her children, and when she attempted to wear the marvelous creation she found that it was so heavy that she could not stand in it. It was trimmed with 32,000 pearls and 3,000 diamonds. Men, however, excelled in costly apparel in the middle ages, and Philip the Good of Burgundy frequently wore jewels valued at $200,000. When he walked along the streets, people climbed over each other to get a peep at him. The Duke of Buckingham once wore at the court of St. James a costume costing $400,000.

Something About This Dangerous and Sometimes Cruel Sport. When the two sons of the Prince of Wales were on a visit to Ceylon, a grand elephant hunt was projected to show them how the animals were captured. Here is an extract from Joseph Moore's description of the hunt: After long maneuvering the trained elephants managed to separate a large cow from the herd and so ranged themselves about her that she was forced to stand. This was the opportunity wanted, and in a flash an agile native slipped under one of the friendly brutes, rope in hand. Waiting until the restless prisoner lifted her hind foot, he deftly placed the noose about her leg and withdrew. Another venture fettered the second limb, the decays meanwhile warding off with their trunks several wrathful strokes at the man. The ropes were now firmly secured to a stout tree and the captive left entirely alone save her calf. Then began a titanic struggle for liberty that no few words can justly portray. Finding herself baffled in untying the many knots or in uprooting the tree, she writhed, screamed, tore at the foliage, pawed the earth, tossed clouds of dust over her back, flung her trunk about fiercely and planted her head upon the ground for leverage to rend asunder the bonds. At length she fell in exhaustion, anguish and despair and lay motionless and resigned. The natives well knew that these symptoms forbade the loss of their prize. She pauted for an hour or more, sighed deeply and died—of "broken heart." A male somewhat above medium size was next submitted to the exciting ordeal with minor variations. While he stood jammed between two of the tame elephants, away from any tree, the nooser induced him to raise his hind foot by touching it gently, drew the running knot about his leg and retreated. In this case the rope was attached to the girth of one of the trained animals, and the sagacious brute, knowing exactly what was expected of him, began to drag the captive toward a tree facing the spectators' stands. The wild one resisted violently, but without avail, as the tame allies steadily pushed, butted and pulled him across the inclosure. When the tying was complete, his contortions to free himself were astonishing, though in the end he calmed down, hopeless and covered with... Insist on Having The Kind That Never Failed You.
